Image for Fritzl changes plea to guilty

The 73 year old Austrian Josef Fritzl, on trial for the rape and imprisonment of his daughter, has admitted all charges of incest, murder and enslavement against him.

Fritzl had originally entered a "partial" plea, insisting he was not guilty of the murder of one of his sons.

The turnaround came on day three of the trial, after hearing the testimony of his daughter, Elizabeth.

At the start of the day’s proceedings, the presiding judge asked Fritzl how he felt. “I plead guilty”, was his short reply.
